What do you think would have happened?
The family of the victim would move out of Chicago.

Toxicology report on Martin but nothing on Zimmerman. That's like taking blood samples from a victim of a suspected drunk driver to see if they were impaired & nothing from the driver.

^ This. Exactly.

How many times have people popped into this thread to spew inaccuracies that were debunked months ago?

Heck, how many current posters STILL say things like, "well, GZ's dad was a judge!"

My spouse works with a guy who to this day says GZ should get life for killing that little boy.

If GZ is found not guilty and there are riots, it's the media who will have blood on their hands.

You got that right! No wonder people were upset with the police department's handling of this case from the get-go.

Why did they not take a blood sample after the shooting ?

It looks to be a large which is what most teens in FL wear. Did you notice that he had a sweat shirt under that? Most of us in FL wear layers when it gets cold.

Zimmerman did not run over Martin with his truck. There was no reason to test his blood for any illegal substances.

What specifically has been entered as evidence that you feel is wrong\lies? Why wasn't it debunked or challenged upon presentation by the prosecution?

I believe her testimony about what was said.

After that, it seems like Trayvon was getting the better of Zimmerman during the struggle, but I think Zimmerman was reaching for his gun or trying to, the whole time. That would explain his lack of self-defense injuries.

Even I, as a woman would be fighting back with my arms and legs, if someone were attacking me as Trayvon supposedly did. Zimmerman testified his hands were free, and that Trayvon was crouched so low over him that there was nothing but a crevice between them. In that position, you could try to gouge your opponent in the eyes, or scratch their face. Believe me, I'd have that other person's blood under my fingernails.

Zimmerman had the right to shoot Martin as soon as he landed the first punch. There is no constitutional right to become a punching bag for some drugged up thug.
